King of Hollywood

Chapter 235 is finally released

Appropriate modification is a must. Every singer has his or her own style. Since Britney and Christina's styles have been proven to be successful in previous lives, why spend time and effort exploring other routes? Of course, it is impossible for a singer to maintain a style for a lifetime. Even MJ or Madonna will continue to seek changes, but that will be a long time later. To become famous, you must first find a suitable style and fix it.

Don't worry about this. Although Adrian has put more thought into the record company, such as the film company, after developing and merging several powerful peers, he is currently considered to be the top of the second tier. Especially after the launch of Britney, which is very popular among teenagers, the momentum has been raised to a higher level, and the company has also expanded a lot. As long as Adrian proposes some key things, the rest can be handed over to them. reason.

This is somewhat similar to entrusting Villefort Studios to produce "Counter-Strike", but "Counter-Strike" can't be produced now, not because Adrian can't come up with ideas, but because the 3D engine of this game is based on "Quake" is the basis, but the model uses "Half-Life", and "Half-Life" has not yet been released. According to the news from Villefort, although they released the beta version at E3 last year, there are not many people who are optimistic about it, so most of the levels are currently being redone, trying to release a new beta version at this year's E3 .

According to the few game memories in Adrian's mind, "Half-Life" should be launched this year, but even if Villefort launched the beta version in August, the official version will be released at least 3 to 4 months later. , and it’s not too late to talk to them about Counter-Strike by then. This may not make too much money, but the company's name can be spread very widely because of the Internet, and the business is still very cost-effective.

Whether "Counter-Strike" or Christina's new song, it's a matter of the future, and now Adrian's main focus is on another thing - the premiere of "The Matrix"

The film was completed at the beginning of last year, because most of the filming was closed, and the media didn’t know much about it. The relevant reports focused on why the filming was completed at the beginning of last year but it was not ready to be released until now, so it was decided at the beginning of this year After the release date was announced, the publicity began, and then began to focus on it.

On this, Bosworth is still stingy with relevant information, and so far only released a trailer and six posters—one for the whole, one for each of the three protagonists, and one for each of the two villains. There is nothing else, not even Jennifer Aniston, who has a role in the movie and has been widely reported by the media.

Even so, people are still full of expectations for this movie. The most important point of hunger marketing is how to hang the audience's appetite, neither revealing too much information to make them feel satisfied, nor falling too high to make them get bored. Bosworth has done a good job of doing this, like ditching the original plan immediately after Cannes, and linking Mulholland Drive to The Matrix, dreams, real and unreal, and the search for truth Wait, the reason why the audience is full of expectations is that Adrian, the director and producer, has played a big role, and such advantages must naturally be used.

However, unexpected things happened. Someone actually turned up the novel version of "The Matrix", and asked repeatedly on the website whether it was adapted from this novel. After the film company asked Adrian, they immediately gave an affirmative answer, so the circulation of the novel increased slightly.

Adrian is not worried that the content of the novel will let the audience know the plot in advance and the enthusiasm for the movie will disappear. After all, novels and movies are two different carriers. Novels require readers to read actively and draw pictures based on the text, while The combination of sound, light and color in the film is a kind of instillation, which can show more layers.

Besides, there are so many movies based on novels that have achieved great success. Of course, Adrian also carefully expanded and deleted when writing, so there is no need to worry too much. The only thing worth correcting is that you should have told everyone that this is adapted from a novel from the very beginning, instead of hiding it like the plot and filming progress.

But with the premiere coming up, it's okay to have a minor mishap, and The Matrix wasn't a hit novel when it was released.

The car stopped at the entrance of the theater without a sound. The door opened, and a tall man in a well-fitting suit came out with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, which immediately attracted a lot of clicks of shutters. Then, he stepped aside and stretched out his hand in the car, and immediately reached out with a white jade hand, and immediately stretched out a curvy calf, and then a sexy girl exuding a mature style appeared in front of the reporters .

She was wearing a dark thin-shouldered evening dress, and her tall breasts were extremely eye-catching. Although the high fork only reached the middle of her thighs, the scenery under the skirt was already arousing people's imagination. The simple but perfect dress highlighted the other's sexy nature , compared with the stern and extremely cool single poster with sunglasses and a black bodysuit erected at the entrance of the theater, it is particularly impressive. A lot of films have been murdered in a short time.

Although the shouts of "Mr. Adrian" and "Miss Monica" came and went on the short red carpet, neither of them answered with a smile on their faces, and the reporters had to focus on taking pictures, after all The two are blatantly arm in arm, which is a good subject for gossip.

"They looked as if they wanted us to stand there forever." After entering the theater, Monica said to Adrian in such a low voice, her tone was teasing, and she didn't know whether she was teasing the reporter or Adrian.

"So shall we do what they want?" Adrian replied with a smile.

"It's up to you." Monica shrugged.

Adrian chuckled, then put his arms around her waist, and Monica immediately leaned a little more on him. In fact, he wanted to do this outside just now. He has used the media in his hands to create several unwarranted scandals for Monica, and the gossip tabloids have also speculated about the various things between him and Monica. Once there are too many news, readers will lose what they want to read, unless there are special revelations, such as going out to play together or even a car shock, but will Adrian allow this to happen?

But Monica doesn't like to do this. As for the reason, needless to say, this makes Adrian very happy. A lot of people came to the premiere, not to mention the leading actors. Yuan Heping, as a martial arts instructor, is also coming. Jeter Lee, who is filming "The Expendables", also came. Wu Baige, the director of "Two Heroes" and a person Adrian did not expect.

"Mr. Jack is amazing. I have seen most of your works. They are both interesting and exciting. No wonder you will become the most famous Asian Kung Fu star after Bruce." Adrian said to the Asian middle-aged man in front of him with a smile. The other party's iconic big nose is very eye-catching.

"Thank you." Jack Cheng had a pleasant smile on his face. He was very humble, even a little humble. He didn't look like he was in Hong Kong at all.

Adrian couldn't help but shook his head slightly in his heart, then said a few more words and left with Monica. Because New Line invested in "Rush Hour" as I remembered, Jack Cheng's reputation in Hollywood has reached a new level. He happened to be in Los Angeles these days, plus Yuan Heping, Jeter Lee, and Wu Baige are all Adrian An invited him on his own initiative, and he liked Chinese Kung Fu very much when he was making "The Matrix", so the film company simply invited him over.

This Adrian was a little dumbfounded, but since the other party came, it was not easy to see each other, so I chatted with him a few words. Of course, English is used, and his Mandarin Suiping is far behind Jeter Lee. Although English is not very good, it is definitely better than communicating in Chinese.

Speaking of Jeter Lee, when Adrian came over just now, he happened to see him standing and talking with Jack Cheng. Although they were both smiling, the posture was not friendly, especially because Jack Cheng had some advantages due to his height. Some condescending taste. And after he talked with Jack Cheng, Jeter Lee quickly found a reason to leave, and the two really didn't deal with each other very much.

For Jack Cheng, Adrian has no idea at all. Kung fu movies have only become popular in the past few years. Now that New Line has "Rush Hour" in its hands, it is enough to find a time to make "Shanghai Noon" . Besides, Jeter Lee is more suitable for praise. Needless to say, he was neither humble nor overbearing at the beginning. No matter it is pretended or what, it is better than Jack? Cheng's previous arrogance and respect.

Although he also has a lot of problems, such as all kinds of things about his ex-wife, or he is stupid to take a photo with Xueshan Dajingba, but it is better than the other one. To use an unfortunate metaphor, both fruits are rotten, but one is more rotten than the other. If you can only choose one of the two, it can only be regarded as the better one.

Of course, more importantly, Adrian just asked a little before, and Jeter Lee immediately agreed without hesitation.

"If "The Matrix" is going to be a sequel, I think you should be suitable for a certain role." He said so.

"No problem." The other party answered very simply and simply.

Although Adrian's Miracle director is well-known, the box office of this movie has not yet come out, no matter what the other party thinks, this kind of understanding is very likable. Anyway, even if the kung fu movie boom is over and the other party is worthless, he won't lose anything.

This is just an episode at the premiere, and Adrian is still paying more attention to several leading actors, such as making fun of Keanu Reeves, the "mediocre bassist".

"I'm just a little worse than those professionals, and it has nothing to do with the word 'mediocre'." Reeves argued angrily, and then glared at his friend, "How can you describe me like that, Rui Fan "

"Isn't that the case, Keanu, can you deny it?" Jacques laughed and said ahead of his brother - as Keanu's friend, he was favored by Adrian, and the two Phoenix brothers also came to join him .

Reeves likes rock and roll more than making movies. He even formed a rock band, but unfortunately, he has no talent in it, whether it is singing or musical instruments, so Rui Fan gave him Such a title. Even so, Reeves still loves rock music. In order to maintain the band, the salary of "Life and Death" has been fully invested. If nothing else, the salary of "The Matrix" will probably be invested.

Adrian didn't intervene. It's good to have his own insistence. If his band can really make a good record, he doesn't mind releasing it for him.

In addition to Reeves, Adrian also specifically talked to Hugo Weaving and asked about his next plan, because...

"I will have a big production next year, maybe you are interested in playing a role in it." Adrian said, and then added: "Of course, this time it is definitely not a villain."

Wei Wen suddenly laughed: "No problem, I will try to save the schedule for you."

"What inspiration do you have again?" Monica then asked curiously, "You seem to have inspiration all the time."

"Of course, otherwise, how can I be considered a miracle director?" Adrian pinched her chin with a smile, "It's a pity that you are too sexy, or you can play a role in it."

"It's okay, it's enough to have you by my side." Monica didn't care at all.

Dennis also came to the premiere, of course, with his fiancée. It looks like he's settled Aniston, and the funny thing is, when he's talking to other women for a while, Aniston will give him a casual but stern look, and Dennis will instantly become Very honest.

Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, almost laughed out loud in his heart, but he soon became surprised because they were actually getting married.

"The wedding date is tentatively scheduled for November. There are still many things to prepare, so I haven't announced it, but you must come to participate, Ed." Dennis said this seriously, while Aniston held his arm sweetly. Arm, that smile came from the heart, without the harshness before and without the slightest affectation.

"No problem, I will definitely attend." Adrian said immediately, how could he miss the wedding of Jennifer? Aniston and... Dennis? Knight, this is so interesting.

But when they talked about getting married, Monica's grip on his arm tightened, then quickly relaxed. In this regard, Adrian could only pat the back of her hand lightly.

Although there were many people who came to cheer, Adrian was somewhat regretful that many important people were at the premiere of another movie, Spielberg's "Jurassic Park: The Lost World." He and Geffen and Katzenberg have invited more celebrities through the accumulated relationship. In this regard, the media is still slightly weaker.

At the beginning, Spielberg half-jokingly told Adrian that he was going to fight in the ring, but he didn't expect him to do so, which made Adrian slander. Isn't this just for nothing to let others take advantage of it? But he also understands Spielberg, think about it, the media owns shares in DreamWorks - although very small - DreamWorks does not own shares in the media.

Only this time, not the next time. Adrian grumbled inwardly. Although he was a little unhappy, he quickly adjusted his emotions. If he was in Spielberg's position, he would probably do the same, and the other party also expressed his apology cryptically on the phone. Besides, both "The Matrix" and "Jurassic Park 2" are pretty good sci-fi movies. The box office may fluctuate, but they will definitely not lose money.

What's more, DreamWorks is helping the media by doing this. Although they no longer need DreamWorks as a shield as their development becomes more stable, DreamWorks still has what they need. At least Adrian has taken a fancy to it. One thing, so the other party can be more high-profile.

Soon, people entered the screening hall one after another, and the movie was about to start.

As in the original, after a brief typing call, a myriad of little green squares fell down to form the film's title. But here Adrian didn’t use Japanese hiragana or katakana, just two kinds of characters, letters and Chinese characters, and he didn’t plan to say anything to pay tribute to “Ghost in the Shell”, even though this cartoon is still It was released in '94.

At the very beginning, the movie took the audience by surprise. When Monica kicked the police into the sky at 360°, there were a few low exclamations in the hall. Then she quickly dealt with the policeman who came in, and she posed for a pose that was extremely cool, especially the tight-fitting leather jacket, which fully revealed her sexy curves, and I believe it attracted the attention of a large number of men.

The subsequent roof chase also gave people an unusual feeling, especially the super jumps of Monica and Weaving, reminding the audience that this world is weird. Here, Adrian made a small modification. The shot of Monica shuttled into the room of the opposite building was shot from several angles, and fast switching and slow motion were added to make the whole scene more real and more realistic. It's impactful, not the unreal feel of the original.

In this regard, Yuan Heping, who personally served as the military commander, made a lot of effort. With the help of the technicians of the crew, he combined some Hong Kong technology with Hollywood, so the current scene came about.

As for the shot of the broken window implying... the clock, Adrian still kept it. He didn’t like this kind of hinting or burying eggs. Although this is interesting, if there are too many, it will be annoying. The word-of-mouth of the first "Matrix" will decline. In addition to being too mysterious, there are too many such easter eggs. In addition, the audience will give full play to their imagination and fill in all kinds of things in their heads, which is even more exciting. And out of control.

But there is nothing wrong with it, the audience must have some fun, especially in suspense movies, many people like to dig out details through repeated observations, in order to try to overthrow certain conclusions recognized by the public, so as to gain a sense of superiority. . ..
